## Unreleased
### Sharp curves are out of the deck
Eight cards, dealt zero copies. The only thing that made a sharp curve different from an ordinary one
was `moveCost: 2`, and nothing ever charged it — every switching move costs exactly 1, hard-coded — so
they were geometric duplicates taking eight draws from a deck the rebalance already considers too
diluted. `track.test.ts` even had a case called *"a sharp curve differs from a curve only in the Moves
it costs"* which asserted the two were identical, describing a difference that did not exist.
Jesse's call: take them out rather than build the Move cost, since a per-card movement cost is a
change to the Move model and the rebalance can wait. The rows stay in the catalogue at zero, exactly
as Poling does, so the design is still visible and the geometry still works if they are ever dealt
again. **Deck 243 → 235, track 104 → 96, solitaire 221 → 213.**
Four tests broke on the new deck composition and none of them was wrong about the game — all four
were resting on a single seed or a threshold that had drifted, so all four are now measured properly:
- **The oscillation detector ran on one seed.** Measured across sixteen: thirteen games show no
aimless shuttling at all and three reach a run of five. So it is a minority behaviour, not the
every-game waste the test was written for — it now asserts a rate (most games clean) plus a ceiling.
- **Interlocking reaches the board in 7/60 games, down from 15/60.** The bot has been pulled toward
other work by departure Revenue and spends its opening on the track it was dealt. Floor lowered to
match, and recorded as drift rather than quietly restated.
- **The action list reaches 9 buttons, up from 8** — all of them Switching, because the opening deal
grew districts from 17.9 to 20.3 cards and a crew has more squares it can legally reach. The list
getting longer for a good reason, not the cross-products that test was written to kill.
- **A test hoped seed 111 would deal an Office upgrade.** It now puts one in hand.
Bot after all of it: **7.0 mean, median 5.0, wins 5/200**, districts 18.8 cards.
### The special-train rules are enforced
All nine. They had been declared on `TrainRules` and read by nothing, so a Crack Limited could shunt
an industry and a Military train could be worked by Porters — the restrictions are what make a
special train special, and none of them applied. Each is checked where the act happens, and a LOCAL
CREW (`trainNumber: null`) is exempt from every one of them: it has no card, so it has no rules.
- **noSwitching** (both expresses, Light Engine, Campaign, Circus, Military) — moving, setting out
and sorting are all refused. All three are switching.
- **dropOnly** (X13 Appleseed) and **pickUpEmptiesOnly** (X22 Pee-Dee) — enforced on the MOVE, not on
a coupling action, because coupling is mandatory (§A.4): there is no running over cars and leaving
them, so the restriction has to bite on the move that would pick them up or it cannot bite at all.
- **oneFreightPerLocation** (trains 3/4 Express) — a budget per SQUARE rather than per turn, which is
what "one freight car at every location" says: the Express works a car here, moves on, works
another there. Dropping and picking up share the one budget, because the card says "drop OR pick
up". Kept in `turn.freightWorked`, keyed by tray and square, cleared with the turn.
- **noPassengerWork** (Military, Director's car) and **terminalsOnly** (Crack Limited) — Porters
refuse the train. `canBoard`/`canDetrain` now filter the trains at the Office rather than taking
any of them, so the rule actually bites; a new `passengerRefusal` works out whether a card is the
reason and says which, because "no train at the Office" was both wrong and unhelpful when there was
a train standing right there.
- **stopThenExpedite** (X17 Campaign) — the speeches happen at the first Office it reaches: that
arrival is an ordinary stop, and every arrival after it is expedited. A `speechMade` flag on the
tray, alongside `stopPointClaimed`, for the same reason — it is the TRAIN that stops, and an Extra
runs once.
**`coachStaysOnStationTrack` could not be built as intended, and the reason is worth recording.** The
chosen reading was "the coach may only be set out at the Office", but §A.4 refuses the Office square
to *every* drop — "the Office track is Operational Rail, but Rolling Stock may not be left there" —
so "only at the Office" and "nowhere at all" are the same rule. It is enforced as the effect that
survives: the Local may shunt its freight car around the district and may not abandon its coach doing
it. If the station track is meant to become a real place to leave a coach, that is a change to §A.4
rather than to this card; noted in `TODO.md`.
**`copiesNextScheduled` was deleted rather than implemented.** No train card ever carried it: a
Second Section is a Maneuver card played on a train due out, with its own intent
(`newTrain.secondSection`) that has worked all along. It was an unreachable second description of a
mechanic that already existed, and it had been sitting in the "nine rules read by nothing" count as
the one entry that needed removing.
**Cost, measured over 200 games: revenue 8.0 → 7.2 and wins 14/200 → 6/200.** Restrictions make the
game harder, which is the point — but it is worth knowing that enforcing §7 took back about a sixth
of what the departure-Revenue rule gave. The train tooltip no longer says "NOT YET ENFORCED BY THE
ENGINE"; it says what each rule does, because the restriction is the character of the card.
## 0.3.0 — 2026-08-12
### Two rule changes, both provisional, both measured
**The opening deal is now 3 track + 3 other, from two separately shuffled piles.** Track is shuffled
apart from the rest, each player is dealt three of each, and the leftover track is shuffled back in
for the rest of the game — the split is an opening-deal device only. A player opens holding six
against a hand limit of three, so the first turn is spent choosing which district they can afford;
§6.2 already permits "any or all" cards to be played in a turn and puts no cap on discards, so the
reduction can always be made and the engine needed no special first-turn case.
This is the answer to the run-around problem, which was measured five ways and is a SUPPLY problem:
a turnout and a matching-hand curve were in hand together on 0.2% of turns, about once every eight
games. **It worked, modestly** — run-arounds **4/60 → 7/60**, districts **17.9 → 20.3 cards** — with
revenue unmoved on its own (−0.1, inside noise). Nowhere near the 91/100 of the private-supply era,
so the supply question is softened rather than answered.
**One Revenue for every train that clears your section.** Paid when a train is highballed out of your
Office, once per train, and not again when it later runs off the end of the Division — that far
Division Point belongs to whoever is seated at it. A local switching crew has no train number and
earns nothing. Worth exactly **+5.40 a game**: departures run at 5.40 and each pays 1. The bot goes
**2.7 → 8.0 mean, median 0 → 6.5, wins 2/200 → 14/200**. Unlike freight and passengers it pays for
traffic the player does not have to work, which is the point — keeping the line clear is the
Superintendent's job and nothing paid for doing it well. It also makes the victory target live: 20
over 5 Days is now reachable largely on traffic.
**A regression that came with the deal, recorded rather than hidden.** Forced to shed on turn one,
the bot lays pieces it should discard: track butting a card that cannot accept it went from 7% to
15%. A player would simply discard the ones with nowhere good to go. The regression floor in
`sim.test.ts` was raised from 0.15 to 0.25 with the reasoning written in, and it is in `TODO.md` as
bot work for after the rebalance. It also means part of that district-size gain is padding.
**Found while fixing the tests this broke.** Three of them were passing on luck rather than checking
anything, and the deal change exposed all three at once: the commodity test asserted a tank car is
set out somewhere in 30 games when it happens in **3% of games**; the replay-sound test asserted six
cue kinds from a single seed when the bot couples in only **20%** of games and sets cars out in 43%;
and two web tests depended on a seed happening to deal a particular card. All four are now decisive —
pooled seeds, a sample sized to the base rate, or the card put in hand deliberately. Separately,
`moveTrain`'s branch for departing an Office straight onto a Division Point turns out to be
**unreachable**: `buildDivision` always lays `DP · Mainline · Office · Mainline · … · DP`, so an
Office is never adjacent to one. It is kept correct rather than deleted, and `setup.test.ts` now
asserts the flanking invariant that makes it dead.
All five published replays were re-recorded: the deal changes what every seed deals, so the previous
recordings died at 2 intents of ~350.
### Nine things playtesting found
Eight fixes and one new rule, all from one session at the table. Two of the nine turned out not to be
bugs at all, and saying why is most of the work in those.
**Left and right were on the wrong diagonal — for turnouts and for curves, the same way.** The engine
called a card `left` when a train entering at its points saw the diverging route leave to its
**right**: `{stem:'w', through:'e', diverge:'s'}` heads east, and south is the driver's right. Curves
inherited the same inversion, because a curve takes its hand from the turnout whose leg it continues.
Every track card a player has ever held was labelled as its mirror. **The artwork was never wrong** —
`board-svg.ts` draws rails from `connectionsFor` geometry alone — so this is words only, and the fix
flips the `hand` field on the `TRACK_CARDS` rows together with `CURVE_VARIANTS` and
`TURNOUT_VARIANTS`. The row ORDER is deliberately left alone: `setup.ts` builds the deck by walking
that array, so a row's position decides which physical card a seed deals, and reordering to look tidy
would silently re-deal every published replay. Verified by fingerprinting seed 1234's whole track
deck before and after — 101 cards, byte-identical, and the three replays that survived the rest of
this work prove it in practice.
**A turnout can now be laid on top of a card already down.** Reported as: a district can only hang off
a turnout, so a player who laid a straight along the main and then wanted to branch there had no move
at all — the piece had to have been a turnout when it went down. A turnout may now upgrade a straight
at any rotation, or a curve whose arc matches its own diverging leg. Both are strict port supersets of
what they replace, so an upgrade can never sever a join a neighbour relies on and needs no connection
test; the new leg may reach nothing, which is the point. Blocked on a standing car (`UPGRADE_OCCUPIED`)
and on a built Interlocking or Telegraph (`UPGRADE_ENHANCED`) — both about the card being in use rather
than its shape. The rule is stated in ARCS rather than hands so the flip above cannot reach it. The bot
found and played it 40 times across 40 games without being taught anything.
**A Depot showed three MEN | AT | WORK boxes it has no Laborer to work.** An Office is a Passenger
Facility and the sign is printed "For Freight Facilities" (§9.1), but every facility got a three-slot
array of nulls and the renderers loop it — the green and red rows either side *were* guarded and the
MAW row was not, in all three renderers. Fixed in the MODEL rather than the renderers: `menAtWork` is
now `null` on a passenger facility, which is what the "Freight only" comment on that field has claimed
all along. The type flushed out every reader, freight work is now refused on the shape of the facility
rather than on it happening to hold 0 Laborers, and a fourth renderer cannot reintroduce the bug. Two
more artifacts of the same "an Office is a Facility" modelling went with it: a Depot read
**SHIPS + RECEIVES**, an industry's flow word, and was drawn a siding square although its industry
track has length 0.
**The side panel painted inbound loads green.** Its shared box helper used one class for every filled
box, so the red row rendered green while the board SVG on the same screen drew it red — two views of
one card disagreeing about the colour code at the same moment. Green is outbound everywhere now, red
inbound, grey for the siding, which is a place rather than a direction.
**The card just drawn now sits first in the hand, badged NEW.** The engine pushes onto the end, which
with a wrapping row put the card you just turned over wherever the eye is least likely to be, among
two others that look exactly like it. Reversed in the DISPLAY — `actionMenu` for the play page and
`snapshot` for both replay viewers — and deliberately not in the engine: the bot iterates its hand to
generate options, so moving the stored order would reshuffle its tie-breaks and invalidate every
revenue figure in `TODO.md`. Confirmed: 2.8 before, 2.7 after, over 200 games.
**Two Ice Houses could be built in one district.** Industries have been barred from doubling up since
Q4, but a Modifier is a different card kind and had no such check at all. One of a kind per Office
Area now. Enhancements are deliberately left alone — an Interlocking is a plant at one junction, so a
second on another straight is a different installation. This is the change that killed a published
replay: `seed-4894942` had recorded a game that played two Waiting Areas, so it was a recording of
illegal play and has been re-recorded.
**NOT A BUG — "the Ice House added the laborer but not the outbound slot".** The card prints +1
*outbound*; a Grocer's Warehouse is `flow: 'inbound'`, so `allows.outbound` is false and the capacity
was being raised on a direction that can never be drawn or stocked. The laborer landed because
Laborers have no direction. An industry's printed flow stays absolute — no modifier turns a receiver
into a shipper — so the grant is now dropped rather than credited, and the reason is said out loud in
both directions: the card in hand names which of its printed hosts cannot use which half, and the
facility panel reports a suppressed bonus instead of quietly showing a number that did not move. The
same trap catches Truck Dock and Forklifts on a Grocer's, and Waiting Area, Restaurant and Hotel on a
Whistle Post. Two things fell out of this: `TrackCard.modifiers` was initialised everywhere and
appended nowhere, so the panel's "Modifier cards standing beside this industry" row had always been
empty; and a Waiting Area was lengthening the Office's `industryTrack`, which drew a Depot a siding to
spot cars on — the phantom siding above, arriving by another door. That one was found by rendering
12,000 frames of real games, not by a fixture, and it is why the smoke pass exists.
**An Interlocking on the board was a bare label.** It now carries hover text from the card catalogue,
and the one card nothing reads says so. **Seven of the ten resolve in play**: the dispatch chain
(Telegraph, Telephone, Radio) plus Interlocking, which holds an arrival at the Limits when the Office
is full; Yard Office, which diverts a coachless train; Small Yard, which re-orders a consist; and ABS
Signals, stored on the Mainline node rather than in `enhancements[]`. Facing Point Locks and the Water
Column are wired and read but answer opponent-directed cards a solitaire deck omits. **Overpass alone
has no code path anywhere**, and is the only one that carries the warning.
**Got this badly wrong first time, and it is worth recording how.** The table was filled in by
grepping for four helper function names — `dispatchBonus`, `hasDistrictEnhancement`,
`isProtectedFromDerail`, `watertowersRemovable` — and reading "no match" as "no implementation". But
Interlocking, Yard Office and Small Yard are read *by key* in `advance.ts` and `apply.ts`, and ABS
Signals through `node.absSignals`, so five of ten statuses were wrong and the tooltip told players
that four working cards did nothing — worse than the bare label it replaced. `enhancements.test.ts`
had covering tests for all four, passing, the whole time. The test written to guard the table made it
worse rather than catching it: it asserted `effect === 'live'` if and only if the rule carried a
`dispatchBonus`, which restates the assumption that produced the error instead of checking it. It now
asserts the three sets by name, and every row cites the file that reads it, because a status without a
citation beside it is a claim nobody checked.
### Three rules read back from the sheet
Jesse's follow-up after the above. Two were already right, which is worth recording so nobody
re-investigates them; one was a real gap that had been sitting in plain sight.
**Clearance asked about the next CARD, not the next Subdivision.** §8.1 is explicit — "if there is a
train in the next **Subdivision** moving towards the considered train, the considered train will not
depart" — and `evaluateClearance` only ever inspected `node.transits`, the single card being entered.
A train ran headlong into a Subdivision an opposing train was two cards deep in and was stopped only
on the Stage they actually met. `subdivisions()` had been sitting in `state.ts` for this the whole
time, called by nothing outside a test. Red Flags and ABS Signals now read the card the OTHER train
stands on rather than the card being entered; those were the same card while this only looked one
ahead, and the protection belongs where the train it protects actually is. Worth knowing how much
this bites: every Office starts as a Whistle Post, so the whole railroad is ONE Subdivision until
someone upgrades, and each upgrade to a Control Point splits one in two and buys capacity back. The
bot is unmoved (**2.7 both sides, 200 games**) because solitaire schedules only ~1.3 trains a game —
this is a rule that earns its keep with 2–5 players.
**Straight-placed enhancements replace the straight, so they no longer stack.** An Interlocking's
printed placement is "any Running Track Straight": it goes down IN PLACE OF the straight, and what
stands there afterwards is an Interlocking, not a straight carrying one. Nothing checked it — an
enhancement only pushes a string onto `enhancements[]` and leaves the geometry alone — so a single
straight could hold Interlocking, Telegraph and a Water Column at once. **The Telegraph → Telephone →
Radio chain is untouched and is not an exception**: Telephone prints "on Telegraph" and Radio "on
Telephone", so those target a named card rather than a straight, which is exactly why they still
stack. The printed placements settle it; `requiresOnSameCard` already enforced it.
**ALREADY CORRECT, twice.** Control Points and Subdivisions were modelled properly — `isControlPoint`
is false only for a Whistle Post, and `subdivisions()` splits between them — so only the clearance
*use* of them was missing. And §8.2's "moved immediately to the Office, where it stops for orders" was
already the behaviour: `arriveAtOffice` returns `moved`, and the caller adds the train to
`movedThisPhase`. The one exception is deliberate and recovered — Q3, an expedited train departs the
Stage it arrives, and gets a second `moveTrain` still subject to §8.1.
**A missing §8.1 condition, restored to the ruleset.** Jesse read the highball conditions back off the
source sheet and the first one — *"the train did not just initially arrive from a mainline card at the
Office this Stage"* — was absent from `rules-v0.2.md` entirely. The BEHAVIOUR was right, but only as a
side effect: the Mainline Phase visits each train once per Stage in numeric order, so a train that
spends its visit arriving has no visit left to depart with. Nothing anywhere stated the rule, which
makes it precisely the sort of property a later change to that loop breaks in silence. Now written
into §8.1 and pinned by tests, together with the observation that **this is the condition the printed
`Expedite` rule exists to override** — without it, `Expedite` was a special case with no general rule
to be special against, which is why Q1/Q3 found it so hard to place. All six conditions now have
coverage, including the Gap 2b carve-out: a train standing clear on Secondary Track in a Whistle Post
district must not hold up the Subdivision, which the new subdivision-wide scan had to be careful not
to break.
**Verification.** 438 tests (up from 416) and a clean `tsc`. Beyond the unit tests: the track deck
fingerprint before and after the flip; all published replays replayed end to end; the bot baseline
re-measured against a worktree at HEAD; and 40 real games rendered frame by frame through the same
functions the page calls — 12,169 frames, which is where the Waiting Area siding surfaced. Not done:

- **A Subdivision is the unit of clearance, not a card.** §8.1 asks whether the next *Subdivision*
holds an opposing train (an absolute bar) or a following one (the Superintendent's call). Every
Office starts as a Whistle Post, which is not a Control Point, so the whole railroad begins as ONE
Subdivision — that is why early traffic is so constrained, and why upgrading an Office to a Control
Point splits one in two and buys capacity. `subdivisions()` in `src/engine/state.ts`.
- **A Passenger Facility handles no freight, structurally.** `menAtWork` is `null` on a Depot, Station
or Terminal rather than an unused array, so freight work is refused on the shape of the facility and
no renderer can draw a pipeline that cannot exist. The converse holds: industries carry no porters.
- **The track is 45° geometry, not a graph on a grid.** Measured off `docs/tracks.png`: the through
rail runs east–west across the *exact vertical middle* of every card, there is no north–south track
anywhere, and everything that leaves through the north or south edge does so at **45°, through the
middle of that edge**. So two ports meeting is not enough to make a rail — two 45° legs can meet at
the same point and still form a V. Adjacency is `joins()` in `src/engine/track.ts`, never a bare
pair of `hasPort()` calls. A printed card turns 180° but never flips, so its handedness fixes which
diagonal its leg lies on for good, and a run-around needs one card of each hand.

## From playtesting, 2026-08-12
Jesse played and reported nine things. **All of them are now done** — the entries are kept because
each carries the decision behind it, and two of the nine turned out not to be bugs. The measurements
and what went wrong on the way are in `CHANGELOG.md`.
- [x] **LEFT AND RIGHT ARE ON THE WRONG DIAGONAL — for turnouts and for curves, the same way.** The
engine's `left` turnout is `{stem:'w', through:'e', diverge:'s'}`: a train entering at the
points from the west heads east and the diverging route leaves to its **right**. The engine's
`left` curve is arc `sw`, which turns an eastbound train **right** as well. One consistent sign
error in the hand↔diagonal mapping, and it mislabels every track card a player ever holds.
**The artwork is right and does not change** — `board-svg.ts:462` draws rails from
`connectionsFor()` geometry alone, so only words are wrong. **Decision: flip the `hand` value on
the `TRACK_CARDS` rows AND the two variant tables in the same commit**, so the code keeps
speaking left/right like the physical supply and now means it. Keep the **row order** in
`TRACK_CARDS` untouched: `setup.ts:95` builds the deck by iterating that array, so flipping only
the labels leaves pre-shuffle slot 32 holding a `ne_sw` curve before and after, and
`variantsFor(…)[0]` still `'sw'` — same seed, same board, and every published replay still
plays. Also: `track.ts:126` arc fallback, `track.ts:191-212` doc block, `view.ts:1041` and
`view.ts:1208` diagonal phrases, `bot.ts:837-852` `arcInHand`, seven test files, and the prose
plus ~14 `data-tip="Turnout · left"` strings in `docs/design/track-geometry.html` — which has no
generator and must be hand-edited. Verify by fingerprinting a fixed seed's board before and
after: identical geometry, different words.
- [x] **A turnout should be playable as an UPGRADE, on top of a card already down.** On a straight,
or on a curve whose arc matches the turnout's diverging leg. Nothing like this exists — the only
"upgrade" in the game is the Office tier change, which is explicitly not a card swap
(`apply.ts:1290`), and `canPlaceAt` hard-stops at `if (existing && !isMovableSign) return false`
(`track.ts:518`). **Decision: cars AND enhancements both block it** — `standing.length > 0` →
`UPGRADE_OCCUPIED`, `enhancements.length > 0` → `UPGRADE_ENHANCED`, so an Interlocked straight
stays a straight. Express the curve rule on **arcs, not hands**, so it survives the flip above.
No extra connection requirement: all four turnout orientations are port supersets of a straight
and of any same-arc curve, so an upgrade can never sever an existing join, and the new leg is
allowed to dangle — that is what it is for. The lifted card leaves play, which is already how
board cards behave (`apply.ts:1249` salvages only cards that were *not* placed). Reuse
`card.play` with a placement on an occupied square; `legal.ts:252` must offer those squares for
turnouts, and the `attachments` set at `legal.ts:137` is already exactly that list.
**The other half of this report needs no work:** a turnout carries the through route
(`carriesThroughTrack`), so it is already legal at a Limit, along the Running Track and on
Secondary Track. Confirmed, not re-investigated.
- [x] **A Depot shows three MEN AT WORK boxes it can never work.** Offices are Passenger Facilities —
no freight — but `setup.ts:176` gives every one a three-slot `menAtWork` array, and the three
renderers loop it with no guard while the green and red rows beside them *are* guarded
(`board-svg.ts:548`, `panels.ts:218`, `replay.ts:522`). **Decision: all three tiers** — Depot,
Station and Terminal are all Passenger Facilities and all get `laborers: 0`, so the boxes are
inert on every one. **Fix it in the model, not the renderers**, so it cannot reappear in a
fourth place: make `menAtWork` nullable and null for passenger facilities, which is what the
"Freight only" comment at `state.ts:153` has claimed all along. Freight handling must be neither
allowed nor displayed there. Two more artifacts of the same "an Office is a Facility" modelling
go with it: `board-svg.ts:562` calls a Depot **"SHIPS + RECEIVES"**, an industry's flow word,
and `board-svg.ts:599`'s `Math.max(1, trackCap)` draws it a siding slot although its industry
track has length 0. `FacilityView` needs a `kind` field; it has no freight/passenger flag today.
- [x] **Two Ice Houses can be built in one district.** Industries already ban duplicates per Office
Area — `isLockedOut` (`apply.ts:1774`) covers the Mine Tipple half of the report — but **Ice
House is a Modifier, not an industry**, and `checkPlay`'s modifier branch (`apply.ts:662`) has
no duplicate check at all. **Decision: extend the ban to modifier kinds, leave enhancements
alone.** An Interlocking is a plant at one junction, so a second on another straight is a
different installation, and the Telegraph → Telephone → Radio chain is already gated per card.
Expect modifiers with `copies > 1` to go partly dead in solitaire, where there is one Office
Area — correct, since the spare copies exist for other players' districts.
- [x] **A drawn card lands at the far end of the hand with nothing to mark it.** `apply.ts:1219`
pushes, the hand renders in state order (`game.ts:355`), and with `flex-wrap` the newest card is
exactly where the eye is least likely to be. **Decision: reverse in the display layer, not the
engine** — `view.ts:898-899` (reversing `hand` and `handWhat` identically, or they desync)
covers the replay viewer and the standalone replay together, and `game.ts:355` covers the play
page. Keeping `hand.push` means the bot's option-iteration order does not move, so every revenue
figure in this file stays comparable; an engine `unshift` would invalidate the lot. The marker
is play-page only — a `Frame` carries card names, not ids, so a replay cannot say which card
arrived that step. Follow the `game.scheduled` precedent for a `justDrawn` field, but make the
badge **persist** rather than flash: it says *which card is new*, not *something just happened*.
A static `::before` badge as `.handcard.target` does it (`panels.ts:262`), no keyframe — the
innerHTML rebuild would restart an animation on every render. Clear it in `renderUndo()` and
after `fromSave()`, or a fresh page load badges last session's draw.
- [x] **The inbound boxes render green in the side panel.** Green is outbound and red is inbound
everywhere the colour carries direction — `board-svg.ts:528-545`, `replay.ts:452`, rules §9.1 —
except `panels.ts`, whose shared `boxes()` helper (`panels.ts:162`) emits class `f` for every
filled box regardless of direction, so the red row at `panels.ts:222` comes out green. The board
SVG on the same page draws it correctly, which makes the panel actively contradict the board.
Give `boxes()` its class from the caller as `replay.ts` already does, add `.box.r` in
`board-svg.ts:820`'s palette, and take the siding off green in both panels and `replay.ts:525`.
- [x] **An Interlocking on the board is a bare label, and it does nothing.** The enhancement text is
drawn with no tooltip (`board-svg.ts:651`) while the copy already exists as data in
`ENHANCEMENT_CARDS` (`content.ts:589`). Done: every card prints its effect, and the one nothing
reads says so. **CORRECTED — the first pass had five of the ten statuses wrong.** It claimed
only Telegraph/Telephone/Radio were live, because the survey grepped for four helper function
names and read "no match" as "no implementation". In fact **seven are live**: those three plus
Interlocking (`advance.ts:770`), Yard Office (`advance.ts:750`), Small Yard (`apply.ts:405`) and
ABS Signals (`advance.ts:599`, stored on the Mainline node). Facing Point Locks and Water Column
are wired but dormant in solitaire; **Overpass alone has no code path at all**. The shipped
tooltip briefly told players four working cards did nothing, which is worse than the bare label
it replaced — `enhancements.test.ts` had passing tests for all four the whole time.
- [x] **A modifier's grant can land on a direction its host cannot use, and nothing says so.**
Reported as "Ice House added the laborer but not the outbound slot" — **checked, and there is no
bug**: Ice House prints +1 *outbound*, a Grocer's Warehouse is `flow: 'inbound'` so
`allows.outbound` is false, and the capacity was raised on a direction that can never render or
be stocked. The laborer arrived because laborers have no direction gate. **Decision: an
industry's printed flow is absolute** — drop the grant on hosts that cannot use it rather than
opening the direction up. So `applyModifier` (`apply.ts:1788`) gates each capacity grant on
`allows` and grows `industryTrack.length` only by what was actually applied. **Audit all 17
profiles for the same trap:** `iceHouse`, `truckDock` and `forklifts` all print `addOut: 1` and
list `grocersWarehouse`; `waitingArea`, `restaurant` and `hotel` print `addOut: 1` for
`hosts: ['office']`, which includes a Whistle Post. Then say it in both directions — the hand
tooltip naming which printed hosts cannot use which half (computable from the profiles, no host
on the board needed), and the panel's "prints N, Modifiers add M" line showing a suppressed
grant as suppressed instead of quietly omitting it. That delta display already cites the Ice
House as the bug that motivated it.

## Open questions for Jesse
Blocked on a decision, not on work.
- [ ] **PROPOSED RULE — deal each player six track cards at the start.** Jesse's proposal, and it
aims squarely at the measured problem above: a run-around needs five specific pieces and the
bot holds a turnout and a matching curve together on 0.2% of turns. Six pieces in the opening
hand is roughly the private supply the prototype had, in a form that does not reintroduce an
unbounded one — and it would make the opening district a decision rather than a wait. Questions
before it goes in: are the six drawn from the track cards in the deck (thinning it for
everyone) or from outside it; do they sit in the hand, against the three-card limit, or in a
separate track hand that does not compete; and does the bot's opening change enough to need
re-measuring (it will — this is the one change that could move the run-around numbers).
- [ ] **PROPOSED RULE — one Revenue point for every train that exits your section.** Jesse's
proposal. Worth noting what it would do to the economy as measured: arrivals run at 5.4 a game
and completed runs at about the same, so this is roughly **+5 Revenue a game** against a
current mean of 2.6 — it would more than triple the score and, unlike freight or passengers, it
pays for traffic the player does not have to work. That may be exactly the intent (it rewards
keeping the line clear, which is the Superintendent's job) but it changes what the game is
about, and it interacts with the victory-target question below: 20 over 5 Days becomes
reachable almost on traffic alone. Cheap to measure once decided.
- [x] ~~**Q13 — rear-end collisions on a Mainline card.**~~ Answered: collide on catching up.
Implemented, and not on cards that print "trains may pass". Invisible to a bot that always
denies clearance; a bot that always allows drops from 7.34 revenue to **-5.13**.
- [ ] **NINE OF THE TWELVE SPECIAL-TRAIN RULES ARE DECLARED AND READ BY NOTHING.** Found by grepping
each flag on `TrainRules` for a reader outside `content.ts`. Only `expedite`, `emptiesOnly` and
`freightTypes` are enforced; `stopEarnsPoint` now is too, after a playtest reported the Circus
Train standing still for a Stage and earning nothing. Still unbuilt:
`noSwitching` · `terminalsOnly` · `coachStaysOnStationTrack` · `oneFreightPerLocation` ·
`noPassengerWork` · `dropOnly` · `pickUpEmptiesOnly` · `stopThenExpedite` · `copiesNextScheduled`
These are what make a special train special — a Circus Train that may not switch, a per-diem
train that may only pick up empties, a Second Section that copies the train ahead. Until they
are enforced, `trainRules()` marks them **NOT YET ENFORCED BY THE ENGINE** in the train's
tooltip rather than listing them as if they applied, because telling a player a rule is in
force when it is not is worse than saying nothing. Each is small on its own; the question is
whether they are worth building before the rebalance, since several of them restrict switching
and would move the freight numbers.
- [x] **~~Nine of the twelve special-train rules are declared and read by nothing.~~** Done — all
nine enforced, and one of them deleted instead. `copiesNextScheduled` was never carried by any
train card: a Second Section is a Maneuver with its own working intent, so the flag was an
unreachable second description of an existing mechanic. Cost 0.8 revenue and half the wins
(8.0 → 7.2, 14/200 → 6/200), which is what enforcing restrictions does.
- [ ] **THE LOCAL'S COACH HAS NOWHERE TO STAND, AND THAT IS A §A.4 QUESTION.** Trains 7/8 print
"coach must remain on station track if switching", which should mean the coach is set out at
the station while the engine works. It cannot be: §A.4 refuses the Office square to every drop
("Rolling Stock may not be left there"), so "only at the Office" and "nowhere" are the same
rule. It is enforced as "the coach is never set out", which keeps the Local from abandoning it
at an industry but loses the drop-and-collect pattern a real local works. **Decision needed:
should the Office square — or a station track beside it — accept a parked coach?** That is a
change to §A.4, not to the train card, and it would also give the A/D tracks something to do.
- [ ] **Poling.** The only card in the deck with no defined behaviour — the sheet records its effect
as "TBD in the source". A test asserts it stays TBD so nobody invents one.

## Not yet built
- [ ] **INVESTIGATE: how would a player publish a replay so other people can watch it?** Today
"Save replay" downloads a JSON file to the player's own machine, and the only way it reaches
the site is by sending it to Jesse to drop into `public/replays/` and redeploy. The question is
what a self-service version would look like.
**The constraint.** The site is fully static — `dist/` is uploaded to File Browser and Start9
Pages serves the folder — and the replay list is a build-time `manifest.json` because static
hosting cannot list a directory. So publishing needs something that accepts a write.
**The one measurement that matters:** a full 5-Day game is **451–1017 bytes** compressed
(brotli), about **600–1150 characters** base64. A save is the seed plus the intents and the
engine recomputes the board, so a whole game fits in a URL.
Four shapes, roughly costed:
1. **Share by link, no server (~1–2 hours).** Put the compressed save in the URL fragment
(`replays.html#s=…`); "Share replay" copies a link and anyone opening it watches the game.
The viewer already parses saves and already has a file-open path, so this is compression, a
hash reader and a copy button. The fragment never reaches the host. It is a link rather than
a gallery: nobody discovers a game they were not sent.
2. **A write endpoint (a day or two, and it is a service).** Accepts a POST, validates the save
by replaying it through the engine — `save-replay.ts` already does exactly that check —
writes the file and regenerates the manifest. The work is the surround: auth or rate
limiting, abuse handling for a public write, CORS, and a deploy story. It also ends "static
hosting is all this needs", which has been load-bearing.
3. **Browser writes to File Browser directly — rejected.** It needs FB credentials in a static
page, so anyone viewing source gets write access to the whole File Browser, and the manifest
would need a read-modify-write from the browser that loses a save when two people publish at
once.
4. **Curated, manual (zero code).** What happens today, and it composes with (1): players send
links, Jesse publishes the good ones.
**The question behind the question is whether a gallery of strangers' games is wanted on a
personal StartOS box at all.** If it is, (1) is the piece (2) would need anyway, so it is the
right thing to build first either way.
- [ ] **Real audio, as committed assets.** Everything the game plays is synthesised from oscillators
(`src/web/sound.ts`), which was the honest choice for a site that fetches nothing — but it is a
placeholder, not the finished sound. Sound therefore defaults to OFF.

`se` and `nw`, a right-hand card `sw` and `ne`, and two stacked cards join only when their legs share
a diagonal. That is what makes the 4-left/4-right split of the curve and turnout supply meaningful,
and why a run-around needs one card of each hand.
Which row is called "left" follows the prototype: a turnout is named for the side its diverging route
leaves toward, seen by a train entering at the points. `{stem:'e', through:'w', diverge:'s'}` is
entered heading west, and facing west the leg to the south is on the driver's left — so left is
`nw_se`. Curves take their hand from the turnout whose leg they continue, which puts them on the same
diagonal. **This was inverted in the first implementation** and both tables were flipped together

the rest of the game, then turn three cards face up next to it, forming the three Department

A player therefore opens holding six against a hand limit of three (§6.2). That is deliberate: the
first turn is spent choosing which district you can afford to build. Draw as usual, then play or
discard down to three before concluding — §6.2 already allows "any or all" cards to be played in a
turn, and there is no cap on discards, so the reduction can always be made.
**Why.** A run-around needs five specific pieces of the right hands in a usable order, and with
track drawn one card at a time the pieces essentially never met: measured over 12,000 turns, a
turnout and a matching-hand curve were in hand together on **0.2%** of them. Run-arounds ran at 91
per 100 games when track was a private supply the player chose from, 29 per 100 once it was drawn,
and 4 per 60 with track in the deck. This restores something close to the private supply without
reintroducing an unbounded one. Measured after the change: run-arounds **7 per 60**, districts
